Let’s talk!
I (don't)think/believe that _______ because______.
I agree/disagree that_______ because________.
Should students do homework with the help of phones
In my opinion, ________ because________.
Should students do chores at home
Dear Sir,
I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework.
It’s not enough to just get good grades at school.
Children these days depend on their parents too much. They’re always asking, “Could you get this for me ” or “Could you help me with that ”Doing chores helps to develop children’s independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know thatrt everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy. Our neighbors’ son got into a good college but during his first year, he had no idea how to take care of himself. As a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped.
The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.
